How about immediately getting all illegals off social security as the #1 priority. Then check disability.

They’ll get every dollar. It’s just that each dollar will be worth 10 cents in today’s money.

From the article:

<>Meanwhile, generations with lower birth rates have replaced the boomers . . .<>

60+ million fewer Americans.

Thank abortion.

Notice they never talk about welfare recipients losing or having their bennies reduced. No talk of reducing funding for anything for illegal aliens. It’s always a reduction for those that have paid into the system for years.

I thought that instead of a Trust Fund, the surplus was invested in US Government debt. So just bill the feds. And seize every career politician's increase in wealth since they got first got elected and became multi-millionaires on a government employee's paycheck.

Start with Nancy Pelosi and the Clintons.

Nothing new. I was supposed to get va health benefits for life and then they changed it to means testing. So I didn’t get it for decades.

The "solution" they'll probably pick is to just print money to fund it. They "forgive" student loan debts. They pass out money for illegals and Covid. There's plenty of money for Ukraine and Israel. There's money for black reparations.

They can always print more money.

Medicaid, WIC, SNAP, and all the various welfare BS should be decreased before social security. I think it’s about 1/2 of the budget or something equally obscene.

But, once again, they target people who actually worked their whole lives instead of the Democrat base of freeloaders.

Retirees could be in for a rude awakening in the near future unless Congress makes some changes to Social Security.

CONgrift could be in for a rude awakening in the near future if Social Security doesn't continue to be stable.

Don’t reduce social security, make up the short fall from congressional salaries. Start now...no...make it retroactive. If they aren’t living out of their car and working a part time job to make ends meet they are overpaid.

I remember reading about a Chinese woman who immigrated to NY to be with her children, who were already here.

Within a few years, without working, she was somehow able to get around $300 in SS and other welfare programs.

It stuck with me all these years because she was getting more in SS payments than my AMERICAN grandmother who had worked since she was 8 yrs old.

Currently, workers pay Social Security tax on only the first $168,600 in wages received each year. That number is adjusted for inflation every year.
And benefits are tied directly to the amount contributed. Raising the maximum tax would also raise the max benefit paid, and would do absolutely nothing to improve the finances.

And 20 million politicians could lose their bank accounts and all their other winnings from their “public service American Dream”.

The Congress creates a bill and sends the bill to the President.

The President signs the bill that authorizes the Government to send the bill to law-abiding U.S. citizens.

The Government threatens the law-abiding U.S. citizens to PAY the BILL!

The law-abiding U.S. citizens appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court tells the law-abiding U.S. citizens, that the bill "is a tax."

The entire content of The Sunday Bee, reports the Environmental Impact Statement of the bill - a study generated by Columbia and MIT Students and Faculty for a Bitter World.

- HAI, great-grandfather of HAL.

This is just another quadrennial election scare monger tactic designed to get everyone riled up and polarized, generation against generation(s) to distract from the real problem - Democrats in charge of government.

They won’t do a damned thing. Just keep printing money until it all blows up like a Weimar Balloon.

Such crap. At worst it might go down 18 percent. But even that is doubtful. They will fix it. Raise the cap and age. Fixed!
